Science & Technology Block Building in Guildford, Surrey
Cranmore School required a new science & technology block to accommodate its current and future needs. The project based on a traditional build was outside of budget and times scales. The school required a partnership that would enable them to design the building and interior quickly and professionally to a DFE specification. They also need a seamless project from design to build. Finding a company that could carry out a turnkey solution was critical to the project’s success. Cranmore School wanted to be able to see into the classroom from the corridor and present students’ work to people in the corridor. They also require the teaching technology to be integrated within the fitted furniture. It was also important to create a new environment which enabled them to still teach with the students in a U but provide an area where the students would carry out group work.

How Brookhouse refurbished Science & Technology Block at Cranmore school
Brookhouse partnered with Modulek to offer a full turnkey solution from the initial though to completion, providing a bespoke modular building with traditional finishes based on the needs of our client. Modulek undertook the design of the structure, including site-enabled works and groundworks. Brookhouse designed interior, and internal layouts, and provided FF& E consultancy along with a BIM Design package and product book, furniture design & manufacturing, supply and installation. Brookhouse created a design of a teaching wall which consisted of display shelving which could be viewed by the windows in the corridor. Along with this, the Triumph Board interactive flat panel displays were integrated into the teaching wall with 4no. sliding drywipe boards. The equipment was also integrated along with charging units. To satisfy the need of group work and a U shape, the rooms were designed with our laboratory workstation pods set out in a U shape around the room.

A Proven Process That Gets It Right First Time
1. Discovery & Site Survey
Every project starts with a detailed discovery meeting and (where required) a 3D site scan. This enables the capture of precise measurements and existing conditions - removing guesswork and reducing future rework.
2. Design Brief Workshop
We host a collaborative workshop with your key stakeholders to capture the vision, budget, and any technical or safeguarding requirements. This ensures your goals shape every stage of the design.
3. Space Planning & 2D Layouts
Our in-house design team produces 2D plans with up to three revisions, ensuring the layout is functional and fully compliant with educational or commercial standards.
4. Mood Boards & Finishes Selection
We propose tailored finishes and materials in a dedicated mood board considering durability, hygiene, aesthetics, and future maintenance - all aligned to your brand or building identity.
5. 3D Visuals & Walkthroughs
Using Autodesk Revit and 3D modelling, we provide sketches, renders, and even virtual walkthroughs (where required) - helping you visualise the finished space and avoid late-stage surprises.
6. Furniture & Specification Schedule
You receive a full FF&E specification and product schedule covering fitted joinery, loose furniture, and specialist equipment. This is so you know exactly what you’re getting, and where.
7. Full Fit-Out & Project Delivery
Once approved, we manufacture and install everything from flooring and ceilings to plumbing, furniture and final decoration. We deliver a complete turnkey space with no need for third parties.
8. Handover & Ongoing Support
After completion, we conduct a full handover and walkthrough, with warranty support and optional aftercare packages available. Your space is ready from day one - and supported long after.
